This week, week 17 in the Colour Creations blog hop we continue our journey featuring all of the Core Stampin' Up! colours, in alphabetical order. This week's feature colour Daffodil Delight, is a member of the Brights colour group and is a lovely sunshiny yellow colour.
This week I decided it was time to finally ink up the stamp set Fresh Cut Flowers as next month Stampin' Up are offering a promotion involving coordinating dies for this stamp set and a few others, so for those who prefer not to fussy cut, this is a perfect alternate. I have chosen to pair Daffodil Delight with White and Old Olive which is an old favourite colour combination for me. I have also used this card to "break open" my new Split Card Textures dies.
My first point for this card was to stamp the floral image in Memento Black and then colour it using Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. I then die cut this image using the coordinating die. Whilst I had the die set out, I also die cut a couple of the sprigs in Old Olive and Daffodil Delight to mount behind the floral image.
One of the other dies in the Fresh Cut Stems Dies is the herringbone type die that I have used on the edge of the card.
Next I have die cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Split card Textures dies and adhered this to a piece of the Design a Daydream Host Designer Series Paper. I have then glued all of the Floral and sprig images to this.
The sentiment is from the very useful stamp set Go To Greetings and has been stamped in Old Olive and then die cut using one of the dies from the Holly Berry dies.
Finally I have added a few Glossy Dots in Daffodil Delight and small bow in Old Olive from the Twill Ribbon Combo pack.
Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Christine Blain. I look forward to seeing her lovely creation.

The angle at which you've placed the gorgeous floral spray is perfect, with the Split Card Textures Die cut, T. The soft Daffodil Delight flowers are so pretty, and I love that you added a Daffodil Delight border die-cut to the left hand side of the card, to complement the yellow flowers. A classically elegant colour combo, and beautiful design.
ReplyDeleteYou've designed the layout of this card perfectly, Theresa. I love your colour combination of Daffodil Delight, White and Old Olive – it's so classic and crisp!
ReplyDeleteA lovely card in a classic colour combo. The split card textures die lets a tantalising glimpse of Old Olive through, looks great!
ReplyDeleteA delightful card Theresa. I love your choice of colours and your colouring of the spray of flowers is lovely. The die cut edge adds a special touch as does the split textures die. Xxx
ReplyDeleteTheresa a lovely and sweet card. Your placement of the flowers blends beautifully with the split die. I love that herringbone type die! Beautiful colours too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card! Your coloured blooms look fantastic in Daffodil Delight, and the bow at the bottom is lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove your use of the Split Panel dies over the patterned paper and the added yellow die down the left side. Your flowers are coloured beautifully above your sentiment. Great card!
